About Hope Givers United
A meal, a safe home, medical care, or a chance to study can change what feels possible for a family. Hope Givers United supports widows and orphaned or semi-orphaned children in India with immediate help, while also opening paths through education, vocational training, and micro-enterprise opportunities. Since 2021, it has funded monthly food support for widows, built two homes, currently supported 11 children, and sponsored Mary and Sulochana through nursing school.
Hope Givers United works through established local ministries in India, including New Covenant Church in Bapatla, so support reaches people through partners who care for widows and children in their communities. Its work stays close to both the urgent need and the next step, from food and medical care to schooling, skills training, and livelihoods.
